This three-part natural history series may deal with critters less than a foot tall, but it packs a big punch for wildlife aficionados and general television viewers alike. It’s the first program from the BBC Natural History Unit to be shot in 4K, and with the production partners behind it, it’s guaranteed to look spectacular. Focusing on the ongoing struggle for survival faced by such tiny animals as the chipmunk and the elephant shrew, the series investigates three habitats – jungle and forest, savannah and desert, and metropolis – and how the “little heroes” navigate the challenges within each. Hidden Kingdoms offers further proof that big things can come in small packages.
